You probably have hundreds of screenshots you’ll never open again.

That’s not just digital clutter—it may be your brain trying to remember less and hope for more.

My latest @PsychToday article explores the psychology behind why we keep saving.

"Rather than asking whether a friendship lasted forever, we might ask what role it played in our lives. Did it provide support during a difficult period? Did it help us grow or offer a sense of belonging when we needed it most?" writes @takenbybrain https://t.co/hsD37U0Hzz

Why do we often feel closest to people right before goodbye?

My latest @PsychToday article explores how endings can deepen connection and make us appreciate relationships in ways we often don’t expect.

Honoured to see my recent @PsychToday article featured by @Psychologies_ one of France’s leading psychology and wellbeing magazines. A lovely reminder that some ideas can travel far beyond borders 🇫🇷

Some friendships are “Chapter Friendships”.

They belong to a specific season of life and often grow through shared routines, workplaces, cities, and experiences.

Why do we carry things we rarely use? A spare charger, notebook, or umbrella may be less about current needs and more about preserving future possibilities. My latest @PsychToday article explores the psychology behind “just in case” items. https://t.co/HoFCMMil5j

Great to attend yesterday’s session on the upcoming @pearson WAIS-5 UK launch. It brought back memories of first falling in love with cognitive assessment during my time at @OHSUBrain in the US. Exciting to see how these tools continue to evolve.

Friendships aren’t meant to stay in the honeymoon phase forever. What helps them last? Navigating disappointment, adapting to change, communicating openly, and making space for growth. Read in my latest @PsychToday

Ever notice you focus better with headphones on?

It may not just be the music. It could be how headphones reduce noise, structure sound, and ease attentional load.

Following my recent @PsychToday article on travel friendships, I was featured in @infobae one of the world’s most widely read Spanish language news platforms.

The piece explores “situational intimacy” and why we open up more to strangers while travelling.

Why do people we meet while traveling feel like instant best friends only to vanish once the trip ends? The bonds are real, but they’re shaped by the novelty and how much easier it can feel to open up when you’re far from home.

Travel makes it easy to feel close to strangers.

You connect quickly, share stories, and then go your separate ways.

The friendship was real, just tied to that moment.

Took a quick pause today at the Gordan Hospital for a free 30-min reflexology session 👣

Reflexology applies pressure to points on the feet linked to organs and body systems. A really relaxing reset in a busy week.

Grateful to @CNWLNHS for offering this to staff.

As International Women’s Day approaches, a question I keep coming back to: Why do some women lift other women up while others compete with them? Read more in my latest @PsychToday article https://t.co/awF6MFYWTr @APA @CatalystInc @LeanInOrg

During global crises, news affects us differently. Identity, memory, and role all matter. My latest piece at @PsychToday reflects on this:

Needing more space in a relationship does not mean feeling less love for a partner. In fact, accommodating the request should only benefit the couple's connection. Here's why. https://t.co/QKFwu5KiA4

Thinking about how productivity, purpose, and pressure sometimes intersect, and how awareness helps move from survival mode to intentional action.

This @PsychToday piece on stress-driven productivity really resonated.
